| Virginia has the largest number of ceme-
teries-fourteen. Virginia, Tennessee and
Mississippi. in their order, were the battle
| states OF the struggle. The dead of the civil
war are not all gathered in national ceme-
teries-none but those of the victors There
are many other graves in the south which
enfold soldiers as valorous as those from the
north.
Sad chance of war! Now, destitute Of aid,
Falls undistin guish'd by the victor's spade.
No stone or epitaph marks their last resting
| place. They too bore themselves with UNI
daunted courage, nerved to heroic endurance,
and following the right as God gave them to
see the right No people ever suffered
greater penalty for drawing the sword. They
were loyal and devoted to their cause, and
tie spots of earth-home-they died battling
for, and the soil that drank up their blood 10
where they rest.
Scatter bright roses DER the grave
OF every soldier, proud and brave,
Who died in gray or blue;
Who fell beneath the stripes and sta"S,
Or died where waved Confederate barA
To flag and country true.
On either side of freedoms line
Bring brightest flowers to deck each shrlna
We ask not what flag they bore;
| Scan not the uniform they wore
| On each supreme occasion.
We know they bravely fought and fell
| To crush, withstand, resist or quell
| Rebellion or invasion,
And threw their lives into the fray
| In frock of blue or blouse Of gray.
Nature decorates the graves of the undfs-
covered dead, scattering wild flowers with
gentle hand alike upon the resting places Of
both the victors and the vanquished.
In 1867 the women of Columbus Miss, in
augurated the custom of decorating the
graves of their own as well as those Of the
northern soldier dead, an event which called
forth the poem of 1.-THE Blue and the Gray"
Sadly, but not with upbraidna
| The generous deed was done;
| In the storm of years that are fading
| No drawer battle won.
| Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
| Under the blossoms, the Blue;
Under the garands, the Gray.
| No more shall the war cry sever
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves of our dead.
Under the sod and dew;
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.
MOSES FOLSOM.
